the main factor affecting the economics of foam-assisted water alternative gas (fawag) process isthe loss of foaming agent by adsorption onto reservoir rocks. in this study, the effects of phases,surfactant concentration, salinity, adsorbents, and sacrificial agent on adsorption density wereinvestigated by special adsorption experiments. moreover, a series of fawag tests were performedto examin...

homogenous charge compression ignition (hcci) combustion is spontaneous multi-site combustion of a nominally premixed air/fuel mixture that exhibits high rate of pressure rise and short combustion duration. to avoid excessive pressure rise rate and knocking, hcci engines are fueled with highly diluted mixture using a combination of excess air and/or egr. hcci combustion is attractive due to ext...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to show the effects of the tracheal gas insufflation (TGI) technique on gas exchange using helium-oxygen mixtures during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV). We hypothesized that a helium-oxygen mixture delivered into the trachea using the TGI technique (0.3 L/min) would enhance gas exchange during HFOV. METHODS Three rabbits were prepared and...

The article presents performance analysis of the neuro swarm optimization algorithm applied for the detection of proportion of the component gases found in manhole gas mixture. The hybrid neuro swarm optimization technique is used for implementing an intelligent sensory system for the detection of component gases present in manhole gas mixture. The manhole gas mixture typically contains toxic g...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), nowadays, are one of the important nanomaterials that can be produce with different methods such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Growing of CNTs via CVD method can be influenced by several operating parameters that can affect their quality and quantity. In this article, the effects of inlet gas mixture temperature on CNT’s local growth rate, total production, and le...
